Mr., Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology

Caring for the Earth is as essential as protecting the organisms within it. Growing up in a community rich in natural resources, yet the lack of ecological awareness led to the vulnerability of biodiversity (flora and fauna) due to devastating environmental degradation. This sparked a pivotal shift in my career path. Instead of healing people (children) as a pediatrician, I chose to heal ecosystems as a Wildlife Biologist and Ecologist. I am currently pursuing an MPhil in Wildlife and Range Management at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). I have spent the last five years actively contributing to conservation efforts in Ghana. My experience spans roles at the Kumasi Zoological Gardens, Safari Valley Eco Resort (Safari Eco Park), Resource Management Support Center (RMSC), and field research at Mole National Park. I have developed interpersonal, technical, and soft skills in education, outreach, and tour guiding, wildlife Management and research, and GIS and remote sensing applications. I am driven by the ambition to be a Voice for Wildlife, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a multidisciplinary team like the WildHub Community, where I can help protect Earth’s biodiversity. My love for wildlife and biodiversity has motivated me in every step of my career in the new phase of my life. I hope to take the right direction in fulfilling my passion of caring for wildlife and nature that nurtures us.                                                                                                Being a Voice for Wildlife
